Rain, basically.. pretty much sum's up the day! Still went for an educational tour with the Parks Canada geologist lady and a bunch of folks into the Tablelands which is one of the best places in the world to see a chunk of the earths mantle (normally under the earth's crust) and have the rock stuff explained to you in "geology for dummies 101". It worked! I now know a teensy bit about a teensy bit of the earth's rocks. And, then.. we were off to do the boat trip up Western Brook pond (landlocked fiord) but that got cancelled cos of.. rain, low cloud, fog and all that wet grey stuff that you don't want when you are sightseeing. We did see a moose, up close and personal this time, and also an Arctic hare. The last was lucky the .22 wasn't with me, or it might have been "jugged" tonight for dinner :)
Anyhow.. we are now all showered, dressed in our best crumpled up travelling and living in a suitcase clothes and off to the local diner for moose burgers, or moose stew or even possibly moose soup! Will report later. In the meantime, here is a few more photos of recent highlights and sunsets.
